1982 Avanti Avanti II Coupe This 1982 Avanti II comes to us from a consignor that appreciates art, modern design, classic lines and the finer things in life. An appreciation of the different things in life, and a successful business owner what a perfect fit! Like driving a piece of sculpture everyday. Exterior In true spirit of the 60's Avanti, this black fiberglass over Khaki with burl interior accents, presents in good condition. The fit and finish are straight and a few scratches in the exterior show some encounters with the real world. Overall the paint is fair and has some faults as well. Due to fiberglass there is no rust save for the inside of the chromed spoked 15-inch wire wheels. Black resin molded bumpers matching the raked at an angle front and rear lighting panels give the car a retro yet futuristic look. A flat edged front bumper in chrome adds to the look. The roofline is just sexy to say the least, mainly by making use of the rear curved and bubble glass and a short trunk deck. Short wrap-around tail lights, a rear luggage rack and another chromed bumper complete the dual exhaust outlet back of the car. A clean body style, very much like a contemporary minimalist avant garde work of art. Interior Khaki leather wraps the high backed front bucket and rear bench seats, as well as the padded swooping contemporary styled dash. The seats have some tuck and roll for extra support and sport smooth bolsters. The door panels do not suffer from a lack of leather, with khaki tuck and roll within a frame of smooth uppers and brown carpeted lowers. A wide armrest is in the center opening of the tuck and roll. as well. Carpathian exotic polished burl peppers the wrap-around dash center and covers the center shifter console where vertical AC vents and some ball topped sliders are seen. A padded leather armrest doubles as a handbrake covering and sits directly behind the Seattle space needle styled shift lever. Thick pile brown carpeting makes the leather stand out even further and is plush enough to go barefoot. Above is a smooth headliner in leather and a leather wrapped roll bar is seen for extra structural stability. The steering wheel is a MOMO rally wheel and has a mahogany wood edge within cast billet styled aluminum spokes. Drivetrain Under the forward flipping hood is a 305ci V8 producing 150hp and is attached to a 200R4 4-speed automatic transmission. This mill is fed by a 2-barrel carburetor. A 2.72 rear axle is spinning the rear wheels. All fairly clean in the engine bay. Undercarriage Some light surface rust peppers the undercarriage on the suspension and frame and the floorpan tubs are fiberglass and show in black. Dual glasspack style exhaust are on and front suspension is independent coil springs. The back is leaf springs and power disc brakes are in front and power drums on back Drive-Ability The car fired right up and off to the test track where it had good performance. Not neck snapping, but still enough to get the adrenaline going providing a nice smooth ride with good handling. Braking was bias free and there were a few areas of concern with the horn not working, the radio silent, the tachometer not operating and the AC not blowing cold.
